Often referred to as the Libyan or Bubastite dynasty, the 22nd Dynasty immediately betrays its origins. Manetho lists the kings as all being from Bubastis in the eastern Delta and the Libyan element is evident in the founder, Sheshonq I, who inaugurated the sequence of Libyan chiefs who were to rule Egypt for the next 200 years. Sheshonq himself, allied by marriage as the son-in- Law of his predecessor, Psusennes II, had the Sheshonq was a strong ruler who brought the divided factions of Thebes and Tanis together into a once more united Egypt.
Calculated appointments of his sons to various high offices meant that he exercised specific control over important areas of the country. Uniting the religious and secular spheres, his son Iuput was Governor of Upper Egypt and at the same time both High Priest of Amun and commander-in- chief of the armies. Another son, Djedptahaufankh, supported his brother in the religious field as Third Prophet of Amun. Yet another son, Nimlot, acted as military commander at Herakleopolis, an important garrison that could keep Thebes in check, if need be, to the south. With such a stable power base at home, Sheshonq could then turn his gaze outwards to the old Egyptian Near Eastern possessions.
